Secondly, levies aren't tough in close combat. They have weak morale when fighting a cavalry unit and if you put a levy against a unit of comitatenses the levy will lose every time because of their low stamina and weakness against armoured units.
I admit that their missile spears are enough to send opposing units routing on their own, but they are very limited for ammo.
The best use for levies is front line cannon fodder while you send your hearth troops flanking.
